Why are the changes needed?
AuthorizationClient.get_creds_from_remote()
is written in such a way that it waits for exactly one request from the browser. But if the request is invalid (i.e. does not contain the credentials), nothing is inserted in the queue and a follow-up call toauth_code = q.get()
hangs forever.I have observed this happening when the first request succeeds but another (e.g. grpc) exception is raised, the authorization is retried and in the meantime, the browser tries to get "favicon.ico" from the callback server.
What changes were proposed in this pull request?
